Before my husband died I asked him to send me signs that he was in heaven. I was driving to work one day and my truck smelled like I had brewed coffee in it. I don't drink coffee, but he did. And then this song came on the radio. He loved Ray Charles. I bawled my eye's out all the way to work.
Oh darling, life is hard . This is my song for my mum, I was her fourth baby , times where rough with dad but she always sang this with a smile. Aren’t mums amazing.
My husband died one month ago. And I"m alone withouth him. He loved this song, and me too. Bye, Michael, be happy in heaven. Wait for me, please, my soulmate.
It may sound like a cliche but the people that were close to you that have passed show in one way or another, subtle or very obvious that they are still with you. You just have to listen and open your mind..
Thank you so much. I lost my Husband to Heaven suddenly and unexpectedly on New Year Eve, December 31, 2019, five years ago. Yet I can’t stop loving him. And since he say he would love me for eternity , I believe he can’t stop loving me.💞 People do say time will heal a broken heart, but time has stood still since we’ve been above cause I Can’t Stop Loving him. I Can’t Stop Wanting Him. So I’ll just live in memories of the lonesome kind and dreams of yesterday. The precious memories are nice for real they are but I miss him so. ♥️ 🕊️
I'm a Polish metalhead - just clicked 43 this month and i absolutely LOVE this. It is hard to find nowadays a music on that level in my "ecosphere", yet alone in pop krrrrrap auto-tuned and soulless. Take care oldtimer! ;))))
Im a teen who works at a a old theme restaurant. All we play is classics about this age, I've grown to appreciate the ones that I never thought Id like and I've hummed along to songs my grandma would have been singing in her teens, as small as it is I still find it pretty cool.
I just lost a dear friend today. She absolutely loved this song. Little did I know I played this song for her in the hospital the day before she died...... R.I.P Janice... I love you...
i did witnessed how my dad suffered for 6 years being sick. sadly he passed away last week and he's the only one who brought this song to me. i'm burst into tears whenever I heard this song. miss u dad
I LOVED this song and bought the record when I was 18. I am now 79 and love it just as much. Ray touches my soul when he sings. Your Dad is in Paradise but still aware of you. Love never dies 💖
As brother Ray so eloquently says near the end of the song, “sing the song children” I’m taken back to a different time and place where people respected each other more and music was an expression of love. Thanks for the memories through your music Ray Charles!
I am 74 yrs now, this still sings to my heart! My husband said this to me when he told me I love you. He has been gone many years now this is what is left of his love to me!
I will never ever get tired of this song. It is just one of those songs that will always stay with you. It's definitely the voice of a generation any can identify with.
Bellissima canzone . Tradotta pure e cantata in italiano: non finirò d amarti..meravigliosa. viva l amore ..mio marito non c è più e amava tanto Ray Charleston.. siamo andati a vederlo a piazza politeama a Palermo ..faceva un concerto
I'm near 70 listening to this and how it reminds me of my mom and dad. Oh, the parties they would have when I was a youngster with songs like this coming out of dads big Magnavox console. What a time when I was young and both were alive. Life moves very quickly and soon its over. God bless both of them.
@@iknowyoureright8564 As we age we watch all that we loved pass away before us. Everyone of my mother and fathers generation are gone as well as many friends whom i'd known for many years, one brother and the most unbearable losing my daughter 3 years to the date of 9/21/18. God Bless.
This is one song which one can listen to a number of times. Have heard this song n number of times and will keep listening to it till I breathe my last. Thank you Mr Ray Charles
It's tough...very tough when you meet someone and you fall in love with them, but they cannot love you back...very tough..I know as I have experienced this personally recently myself. One just has to go on....very tough, that's why I love this song so much...speaks to me so strongly....
Brian, I don't know you or your circumstances. However it sounds as if you were a victim of unrequited love. Decades ago, I learned a valuable lesson. Never give your time and love to someone who will not love you in return. Find someone who will return your love. In doing so, Ray Charles' song will have new meaning for you. You will forget all about that other person. Peace.
Originally a Hank Williams country tune. Not sure what possessed Ray Charles to cut a Country album in 1962, but the results speak for themselves. I had the privilege to see Ray live in concert not long before his death. A sensationally talented, creative, influential man who is sorely missed.
This was the first song that my gran and grandad once danced to for their 70th anniversary. The first time I heard it was as it was played during his funeral. I don’t think I’ve ever cried as much as I did that entire service. I can’t help but shed a few tears whenever hearing this song but they are no longer tears of sadness but tears of appreciation. I was lucky to have ever known a man like him in my life. It’s a shame that I will continue my life without him in it, without him knowing which direction my life will go. It’s nearly coming up to the 1 year anniversary since his passing and I would give anything for him to just see how far I have come in growing up, growing physically and mentally. I think he would be proud. I may never meet anyone as interesting and funny as him. I would give anything to have one more conversation with him. We miss you grandad ❤
Woke up this morning and this song was in my head! I had to hear it on UA-cam, I haven’t heard it in years! Ray Charles is wonderful! What a beautiful song! ❤
So many memories of this song I was just sixteen year's old in 1962 my teenage year's started to date my husband November 1963 married now for 53 year's time has just gone in a flash so love all you can and stay happy ❤
Bruce Maclennan the people that thumbs down this song, have no clue about love and they're probably cold hearted prejudiced people. and I'll put money on it that they can't sing either.
Well congratulations! May GOD bless you (all of you) and allow you to remain together as long as you both live. You are living proof if one is willing to adjust marriage can last a lifetime.
+Randall Kelley Randall my wife and I also were together at 14 years old in the 1960s. We just a few short months ago celebrated our 42nd anniversary. By the way...my moms maiden name is Kelley. Peace and love to you and your family from me an my family.
In the middle of nowhere, on a farm in Minnesota, my mother loved this song!! She died 12/17/64. She was a far better person than I could ever be. I didn’t even know that black people existed, but she did, and loved this song. I still have the 45 record. God bless her.
@@darcyroy2012 i was just fascinated you didn't know that black people existed in that time you referred to. It's just like wow to me So how did you learn of black people and what was your reaction to seeing your first one?
How could you possibly know… My world at 11 years of age was a quiet beautiful farm, a mom and dad, two brothers, church on Sunday, school during the week… Hearing Ray Charles as I write this… Those were priceless days. We went to Minneapolis to see my aunt… and saw people that didn’t look like my brother and me. I was no more than 10. He was 13. We just didn’t know, that’s all. Our world was focused on what we dealt with in our small community. No anger. No animosity. Just wonder…
@@darcyroy2012 wow. I honestly can understand. And for sure, it was a very unique experience. Couple with the fact that , media wasn't as visible as it is now. What was the schooling system was like for you then?
@@georgebalnozan2102 In 1994, Ray Charles sat down for an interview with NBC’s Bob Costas and gave a scathing critique of Elvis Presley. “To say that Elvis was so great and so outstanding, like he’s the king…the king of what?” Charles said. “I know too many artists that are far greater”-singers like Nat King Cole, who got assaulted by white audiences for performing rock music, while Elvis received widespread acclaim. “He was doing our kind of music,” Charles said. “So what the hell am I supposed to get so excited about?”
@@georgebalnozan2102 Now you said Ray "stole" Don Gibson's music. That's your opinion but it's not based on facts. In an interview Don knew Ray was doing his songs and asked him to do one particular song. Ray turned it down because it had a link to Ronnie Millsap and he didn't want to deal with that. By the way Elvis also did a rendition of Gibson's song. Elvis is one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived and no one can take that from him but did he give credit for those songs like Ray did to Gibson?
@@georgebalnozan2102 Again your blatantly lying. Ray asked Don and it was granted to him. Interesting that you keep on harping on stealing. Doesn't Elvis has a single "I Got a Woman" and "What I Say" that was written by Ray Charles. You keep on saying that your tired of people saying that Elvis "stole music." Well Ray would know because he wrote both songs. Maybe that's why he feels the way he does. Did he ask Ray for permission for those songs?
@@georgebalnozan2102 Your so upset that Ray said that about Elvis. 🤣 Well Charles was in that era and that's his opinion. You based on feelings not giving me a shred of evidence that Ray "stole" Gibson's music when I told you that he said that in an interview with Ralph Emery. Your so fixated about bringing Charles down. He's a legend. He's so good that Elvis took a couple of his songs for himself. You wouldn't do that if he was just a "piano player." Plus you have to agree that Black music was stiffled by a industry that didn't favor them. So when certain Black artists see Elvis doing something that they were doing all along, of course they would be bitter. It's a fact not an opinion. Now your trying so hard to pick out Black artists who you consider "stole" White music. Personally that's your hill to die on. All I know that Ray didn't steal Gibson's music like you assumed. Matter of fact, like Dolly/Whitney situation, Gibson was glad that he sung a song he written. My original comment was about the greatness of Ray Charles, you tried to belittle him. History has proven you wrong because he was an influence in American music and culture.
This is the best of Ray Charles. My oldest brother loved this song by Ray. He use to come inside the house singing this song. What great memories it brings back to me.
I’m crying right now ( OMG ) missing my parent’s, lost them in the last 7 years. Also the millions of people losing love one’s to COVID & other illnesses . Stay safe & well everyone. We will get through this.❤️❤️❤️😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏😔
LYRICS (I can't stop loving you) I've made up my mind To live in memory of the lonesome times (I can't stop wanting you) It's useless to say So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday (Dreams of yesterday) Those happy hours that we once knew Tho' long ago, they still make me blue They say that time heals a broken heart But time has stood still since we've been apart (I can't stop loving you) I've made up my mind To live in memory of the lonesome times (I can't stop wanting you) It's useless to say So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday (Those happy hours) Those happy hours (That we once knew) That we once knew (Tho' long ago) Tho' long ago (Still make me blue) Still ma-a-a-ake me blue (They say that time) They say that time (Heals a broken heart) Heals a broken heart (But time has stood still) Time has stood still (Since we've been apart) Since we've been apart (I can't stop loving you) I said I made up my mind To live in memory of the lonesome times (I can't stop wanting you) It's useless to say So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday (Of yesterday)
This beautiful song brings teasr to my eyes. Reminds me of a time when I thought I was losing the love of my life. We have been married 52 yrs now. I am still moved by this song and reminded of how I felt then. Thankful to say the least for how things turned out.
A wonderful song by my favorite country artist, Don Gibson. Ray Charles interpretation is hard to beat. The sadness and suffering in his voice reminds me of a wounded animal. I have tears in my eyes every time I hear it.
My father loved this song. He used to always end his conversations with me an his grandson saying the words and it was only when I heard the song preparing for his funeral that I realized this was his song. I bawled my eyes out. Love you Dad.xx
I bought the Ray Charles album that sold the most copies - his COUNTRY WESTERN album. I played that album so much (as my every favorite) all the way through high school. I would put my arms in a circle and pretend I was dancing around the room with my one true love. What INCREDIBLE MEMORIES!!! I love this song as my two sisters and I sang it before 5,000 in the Austin City Dome.
Ray Charles belongs in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Period. His masterpiece Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music is one of the greatest C&W recordings of all time. His enshrinement is long overdue.
Aww such a beautiful song❣️❣️beautiful songs can carry a mood without speaking any specific words. Hello from Scotland🏴 How are you doing today? Hope it's been a beautiful year for you and fam?
You could make the argument he was the most versatile performer ever. Top notch in pop,country and jazz. Who knows what he would have done had he chosen classical?
um dos maiores clássicos da música internacional de todos os tempos. canção lindíssima, inesquecível. vozes maravilhosas e instrumental monstruosamente magnifico.
What a great song!! Soul/blues & Country all rolled up into one .. performed by the incredible voice of Ray Charles ... RIP.. Your amazing legacy lives on!
I was 8 years old in 1962 and was brought up listening to Mr Charles and it still sounds as beautiful today as it did way back then - how lucky am I to be listening to music this fantastic all of my life?? xx
Ray Charles, sei veramente bravo, la tua voce mi ri porta alla mente tanti ricordi molto belli.... le nostre estati al mare, la sera con mio marito stretto fra le braccia che ballavamo con questa canzone....sono passati tanti anni....Mio marito è morto.....
@@jp3923 You bet, and I'm sure that Don Gibson marveled at Ray's interpretation of this classic, and as well marveled at the royalties he hopefully received (You never know how that's going to turn out in the music industry -- a lot of rip offs over the years). Have a great day.
A timeless classic! A song so sublime that folks who don't even know how to speak English could still LOVE IT! Nostalgia sweeps our minds with a touch of honey & perhaps a consoling hug. Great stuff from Brother Ray! * Cav *
Any couple in love loved this song. My husband and I always danced with each other when this song would play. He was in military and was gone a lot. Whenever we were together, this song was precious to us. This song and Together Again sung by Buck Owens. I miss my husband so much. He has been gone almost four years and "I Can't stop loving him"!!!
Ladies and gentleman you are listening to one of the all time greatest singers in history. I love this song and have listend to it so many times since I first heard it back in 1962 Fantastic song Just incredible I have cried and felt this song on many occasions . I hope Ray is still singing some where with God's singers thanks for posting
Uma obra prima eternizada na belíssima voz desse gênio. Obrigada meu Deus todo poderoso por dar dons tão especiais a pessoas que parece que são escolhidas a dedo poi ti, Senhor, mas esses seres elevados, dividem com o restante da humanidade, seus talentos ímpares, eu sou grata por poder ouvir e gostar profundamente desses tesouros musicais. 🙏🏼💫
The first time I heard this was in Japan. A friend who knew I liked country songs played this on the jukebox and said that was the way it should be done
Before my husband died I asked him to send me signs that he was in heaven. I was driving to work one day and my truck smelled like I had brewed coffee in it. I don't drink coffee, but he did. And then this song came on the radio. He loved Ray Charles. I bawled my eye's out all the way to work.

Oh darling, life is hard . This is my song for my mum, I was her fourth baby , times where rough with dad but she always sang this with a smile. Aren’t mums amazing.

My husband died one month ago. And I"m alone withouth him. He loved this song, and me too. Bye, Michael, be happy in heaven. Wait for me, please, my soulmate.
So, for your loss , it is better with time. Please give yourself a chance to HEAL.
SORRY!
So sad. Love will come by again.
You have my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved husband.

Ain't Don Gibson who wrote that song?
@@redblack8414 Yes Hank Williams had long been dead when this song was first written by and recorded by Don Gibson..
This song don’t sound noting like hank Williams song
his country album had rays biggest selling song on it which was actually a Bside 45 single! it was Born To Lose

Don't understand why anybody would thumb down this beautiful song - which will probably be around long after most of today's "music" has fizzled out.
Who knows, maybe something bad happened to them while they listened to this song long time ago...maybe
I don't understand it either. This song is food for the heart and I guess a lot of idiots out there are starving to death!

We went to Minneapolis to see my aunt… and saw people that didn’t look like my brother and me. I was no more than 10. He was 13.
We just didn’t know, that’s all. Our world was focused on what we dealt with in our small community.
No anger. No animosity. Just wonder…
@@darcyroy2012 wow.
I honestly can understand. And for sure, it was a very unique experience.
Couple with the fact that , media wasn't as visible as it is now.
What was the schooling system was like for you then?
The Choir always gives me goosebumps. ❤
A man that crossed so many genres. Country, Gospel, Soul, and others that you can easily say that he, Mr. Ray Charles, was a true musical genius.

In 1994, Ray Charles sat down for an interview with NBC’s Bob Costas and gave a scathing critique of Elvis Presley. “To say that Elvis was so great and so outstanding, like he’s the king…the king of what?” Charles said. “I know too many artists that are far greater”-singers like Nat King Cole, who got assaulted by white audiences for performing rock music, while Elvis received widespread acclaim. “He was doing our kind of music,” Charles said. “So what the hell am I supposed to get so excited about?”
@@georgebalnozan2102
Now you said Ray "stole" Don Gibson's music. That's your opinion but it's not based on facts. In an interview Don knew Ray was doing his songs and asked him to do one particular song. Ray turned it down because it had a link to Ronnie Millsap and he didn't want to deal with that. By the way Elvis also did a rendition of Gibson's song. Elvis is one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived and no one can take that from him but did he give credit for those songs like Ray did to Gibson?
@@georgebalnozan2102
Again your blatantly lying. Ray asked Don and it was granted to him. Interesting that you keep on harping on stealing. Doesn't Elvis has a single "I Got a Woman" and "What I Say" that was written by Ray Charles. You keep on saying that your tired of people saying that Elvis "stole music." Well Ray would know because he wrote both songs. Maybe that's why he feels the way he does. Did he ask Ray for permission for those songs?
@@georgebalnozan2102
Your so upset that Ray said that about Elvis. 🤣
Well Charles was in that era and that's his opinion. You based on feelings not giving me a shred of evidence that Ray "stole" Gibson's music when I told you that he said that in an interview with Ralph Emery.
Your so fixated about bringing Charles down. He's a legend. He's so good that Elvis took a couple of his songs for himself. You wouldn't do that if he was just a "piano player." Plus you have to agree that Black music was stiffled by a industry that didn't favor them. So when certain Black artists see Elvis doing something that they were doing all along, of course they would be bitter. It's a fact not an opinion.
Now your trying so hard to pick out Black artists who you consider "stole" White music. Personally that's your hill to die on. All I know that Ray didn't steal Gibson's music like you assumed. Matter of fact, like Dolly/Whitney situation, Gibson was glad that he sung a song he written. My original comment was about the greatness of Ray Charles, you tried to belittle him. History has proven you wrong because he was an influence in American music and culture.
@@georgebalnozan2102
TY. Hope you do the same. God bless you and yours 😁
Every now and then, you are just happy to be alive, and appreciate this.
Steven Robertson please be happy.
He is the most awsome singer i listen to his music still and I'm 82 years old
It is such a beautiful feeling when you know someone loves you and you love them back ❤️😘
I agree 101%
This is the best of Ray Charles. My oldest brother loved this song by Ray. He use to come inside the house singing this song. What great memories it brings back to me.
I’m crying right now ( OMG ) missing my parent’s, lost them in the last 7 years. Also the millions of people losing love one’s to COVID & other illnesses . Stay safe & well everyone. We will get through this.❤️❤️❤️😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏😔
Who could possibly give this beautiful musical masterpiece a thumbs down?
A rapper.
Today, my grandpa sent this song to me. I am lucky to have him. Loving you Arthur...
See you September 2019.
True love never dies.
God's genuine love heals.
Thank you Ray Charles.
Está música é linda demais nota 10 Brasil

Ikaw

LYRICS
(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)
Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Those happy hours)
Those happy hours
(That we once knew)
That we once knew
(Tho' long ago)
Tho' long ago
(Still make me blue)
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue
(They say that time)
They say that time
(Heals a broken heart)
Heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we've been apart)
Since we've been apart
(I can't stop loving you)
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
(Of yesterday)
Wonderful!!
Thank you very much!
Many many thanks for the lyrics.
As an indian we can't follow the english accent properly.
Thanks once again brother.
❤️😍
@@aniruddhabanerjee6175 enjoy
The most beautiful love song ever. My Dads favourite song back in 64
QUANTO SOFRER😔 ESTÁ MÚSICA ME FAZ LEMBRAR DE UM AMOR CORRESPONDIDO DE 1963 QUE NÃO ACONTECEU PORQUE O DESTINO DE FORMA COVARDE NÃO QUIS. 😔
And Mr Charles did it the best.
Oi Boa noite amiga Cris
Não mais músicas como antes
Best song ever ..and too dance too ..
Nice beautiful song. Thanks
This beautiful song brings teasr to my eyes. Reminds me of a time when I thought I was losing the love of my life. We have been married 52 yrs now. I am still moved by this song and reminded of how I felt then. Thankful to say the least for how things turned out.
the king can you not hear that one of the best songs ever
A wonderful song by my favorite country artist, Don Gibson. Ray Charles interpretation is hard to beat. The sadness and suffering in his voice reminds me of a wounded animal. I have tears in my eyes every time I hear it.
I can’t stop loving this song!
Truth
Amen!!
I can't stop loving.
The song only says what I was feeling way back then. Nothing's changed for me since then.
Play I can't stop
My father loved this song. He used to always end his conversations with me an his grandson saying the words and it was only when I heard the song preparing for his funeral that I realized this was his song. I bawled my eyes out. Love you Dad.xx
how can fifty eight people not like this record brings a tear to my eyes anytime
I bought the Ray Charles album that sold the most copies - his COUNTRY WESTERN album. I played that album so much (as my every favorite) all the way through high school. I would put my arms in a circle and pretend I was dancing around the room with my one true love. What INCREDIBLE MEMORIES!!! I love this song as my two sisters and I sang it before 5,000 in the Austin City Dome.
my name is michael william,i bring you glad tidings

Ray Charles belongs in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Period. His masterpiece Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music is one of the greatest C&W recordings of all time. His enshrinement is long overdue.
He does need to belong in Country Music Hall. Definitely!

Ray Charles - An American treasure. Thank you, Ray, for droppin' your amazing aura on the rest of us lucky recipients of your art.
My favorite song when I was 12 I played the record (45) over & over
Aww such a beautiful song❣️❣️beautiful songs can carry a mood without speaking any specific words. Hello from Scotland🏴 How are you doing today? Hope it's been a beautiful year for you and fam?
Words cannot describe this man's talent or his genius. Simply one of the best to ever walk the face of the earth.
I TOTALLY AGREE
The best song of all times and very relevant and applicable even today in time
You could make the argument he was the most versatile performer ever.
Top notch in pop,country and jazz. Who knows what he would have done had he chosen classical?
comeacross9 high 5 on that comment! :) ✋
September Campbell
Was #1 on the Billboard Charts from June 2 to June 30, 1962. GREAT song!!!
Reminds. Me of my mom lov u mom
This is the song I was listening to what my marriage came to an end, it was so prophetic 20 years later still sticks with me.
"They say that time
Heals a broken heart
But time has stood still
Since we've been apart"
- some of the greatest lyrics ever written
I'm 19 years old, and it's when i listen to songs like this that i think i was born to late.
um dos maiores clássicos da música internacional de todos os tempos. canção lindíssima, inesquecível. vozes maravilhosas e instrumental monstruosamente magnifico.
What a great song!! Soul/blues & Country all rolled up into one .. performed by the incredible voice of Ray Charles ... RIP.. Your amazing legacy lives on!
I love Ray Charles and this one is indeed timeless..

This song is for the people, who can't stop loving each other
Such a wonderful song to sing and slow dance to! I was born back in the days of the best music! Love this!
Nossa Ray Charles tambem igual Elvis tinha uma lindissima voz
Ray’s voice and talent was a gift to all of us...no one comes close.love his music.
In about 1974, I went into a pub in Bristol, went to the juke box and played this song. Incredible!
When a tune makes me weep I know it's terrific. This one never stops making me weep, no matter how many years go by!
Thank you Ray, for your beautiful music. It tugs my heart strings!
Essa música marcou época
Same here.greetings from rottterdam.
I was 8 years old in 1962 and was brought up listening to Mr Charles and it still sounds as beautiful today as it did way back then - how lucky am I to be listening to music this fantastic all of my life?? xx
Ray Charles, sei veramente bravo, la tua voce mi ri porta alla mente tanti ricordi molto belli.... le nostre estati al mare, la sera con mio marito stretto fra le braccia che ballavamo con questa canzone....sono passati tanti anni....Mio marito è morto.....
"Sing the song, children..." Gotta love this man! Miss you, Ray! R. I. P.
The lead and the chorus on this song -- chilling still after all these years. A 1962 masterpiece. Ray did Don Gibson proud for sure. 11/2018
Ray's rendition of Don Gibson's song is best and earned Don a lot of money.
@@jp3923 You bet, and I'm sure that Don Gibson marveled at Ray's interpretation of this classic, and as well marveled at the royalties he hopefully received (You never know how that's going to turn out in the music industry -- a lot of rip offs over the years). Have a great day.
A timeless classic! A song so sublime that folks who don't even know how to speak English could still LOVE IT! Nostalgia sweeps our minds with a touch of honey & perhaps a consoling hug. Great stuff from Brother Ray! * Cav *
how you can say this song is below slime is beyond me ???
PHEW i first heard this when i was about 11/12 & was blown away by it, now at 69 nothing has changed
the song that makes you happy and sad at the same time...
My husband always played this song for me and it brings back so many memories for us thank you
I can't stop loving this song

Any couple in love loved this song. My husband and I always danced with each other when this song would play. He was in military and was gone a lot. Whenever we were together, this song was precious to us. This song and Together Again sung by Buck Owens. I miss my husband so much. He has been gone almost four years and "I Can't stop loving him"!!!
Not heard this in a very long time. Stopped me in my tracks. Beautiful tune. Thanks BOOM radio!
